Abstract:
We present a measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in decays of neutral B mesons to the final states D*-+ pi+-, using approximately 82 million B B bar events recorded by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II e+ e- storage ring. Events containing these decays are selected with a partial reconstruction technique, in which only the high-momentum pi+- from the B decay and the low-momentum pi-+ from the D*-+ decay are used. We measure the amplitude of the asymmetry to be -0.063 +- 0.024(stat.) +- 0.014(syst.) and compute bounds on |sin(2beta + gamma)|.
